[b]"Unfortunately, Arata Kaguya has fallen ill and wont be joining you on your mission, he wishes you the best of luck and apologizes for any trouble caused."[/b] The attendant bowed to the group before making haste to get out of the endless rain, clearly even an umbrella wasn't enough for him to be happy with being outside. Of course with the news that Arata wasn't on the team anymore the VTOL pilot informed the group that they would be departing immediately now that everyone who was actually going was present. Within the VTOL with the team was a small assortment of food and medical supplies, as well as some flashlights and a large portable light, just in case the mission lasted long enough for night to come. Any inquisitive souls who kept watch to see where exactly they were headed would spot two of the crafts splitting off in opposing directions, at this point there was nothing of note on the ground to use as a landmark, a couple of dead trees perhaps, maybe a hill or two but nothing significant. A slight tilt in the passenger cabin told all present that they were starting to veer from the path the rest of the squads were taking, steadily a large hill was coming into view in the distance, the closer the VTOL got the more anyone watching would see that it was no hill. It was a monumentally-sized dome, segmented glass panels once crystal clear that were now clouded and dark, from here they could see that it was at least a couple of kilometres wide at the base. Fortunately from above it appeared to be intact, once they landed the dome seemed to be impossibly huge for anything to be considered structurally sound yet here it stood, containing goodness knows what. The VTOL had landed in front of a building, one small door on the front and windows dotted around here and there as one would expect any old building to be constructed, had it not been for the dome that it was connected to one could mistake it for a person's home. There was something off about the scene, once the VTOL's engines had turned off and come to a full stop there wasn't a sound to be heard from within the building. Both Tapo and Eita, with their relatively enhanced perceptions when it came to sight, could just about make out something moving through the clouded glass of the dome. There was no way to tell what exactly, but there was something in there that had noticed their arrival. For now though they were safe enough. [i]"We've been instructed to wait here for you guys to return, we'll keep our lights on and watch the horizon for anything coming your way from out here. So, uhh... Good luck, right?"[/i] [center][youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4vXUfU6e50A[/youtube][/center] What stood between them and the truth of what was inside now was a simple door, it would have no trouble being opened by hand as it wasn't locked and beyond that threshold a wave of stale air would billow out. Inside was an empty lobby, furnished with uniformly boring decor and the occasional water fountain or vending machine, signs at the back of the room pointed off one way that said [b]Laboratory[/b] and another labelled [b]Residential[/b] Between the two signs there was a set of reinforced double doors, a sign above it stated [b]Wildlife Reserve[/b]. Really it was quite bland in here, though if anyone were to look at their PDAs they would see that the tracker bug was on the move within the confines of the "Reserve". Anything following this moment was entirely up to whomever decided to take charge, really. If Erika were to use her sensing technique to find out if anything else was nearby, she'd pick up on a large number of signatures within the dome's limits and the chakra within them was undesirable to say the least, a more suitable phrase would be that they were absolutely disgusting to even feel the presences of such a foreign chakra. It was impossible at the moment to tell what the signatures belonged to, but some of the signatures were smaller and some were larger than the average human's chakra signature.
